COURT: The accused, I have taken into account everything
urged on your behalf. You stand convicted of one charge of
trafficking in a dangerous drug. You have pleaded guilty at the
Magistrates’ Court and you have been committed for sentence to the
High Court today.
The quantity of drugs involved is 1.49 kilogrammes of a crystalline solid containing 1.47 kilogrammes of methamphetamine hydrochloride. These drugs were imported from across the border.
All things considered, I adopt a starting point 23 years’ imprisonment, enhance it by 2 years, making a total of 25 years’ imprisonment.
Having taken into account everything that has been urged on your behalf, including your early plea of guilty and your cooperation with the police, I shall give you the full one‑third discount thereby reducing the starting point to one of 16 years and 8 months’ imprisonment.
I therefore sentence you to 16 years and 8 months’ imprisonment.
